Hi, I am in the same situation actually. Or almost, as I'll have only anonymous users.
I though about restricting votes based on IP addresses, but today, with NATs and all, that would be unfair for a lot of people. What I was planning to do is use the session framework. I will have in the sessions each poll the user has answered. Of course, a user could erase the cookies and vote again, but the idea is to avoid accidental voting and the temptation of easy cheating :-) But I am sure there must be a better way.
